Longest run since the Berlin Marathon. Still far behind in my training, but I can’t complain about the warm sunny day in Redondo Beach. I saw everything from bikini tops to long down coats! Switched up my playlist from punk/new wave to Deep Purple and ZZ Top, found it too slow.🙂 #RunningPunks

I missed my run today, #RunningPunks, because I was working on this year-in-review post and I thought I'd share my day job with you. May as well share a fun song, too--Men Without Hats, cover of the Rolling Stones' 2,000 Light Years from Home. It is hilarious, but you will feel good.

First run back after ten days off due to dental surgery started out lovely, but was soon marred by a fascist rally of pickups sporting 5-7 flags each, including “we are Charlie.” So today’s music has to be @dropkickmurphys.com!♥️ #RunningPunks

What better Christmas present could an editor want than this beautiful desk copy of @globalethicist.bsky.social’s new book, GOVERNING PANDORA: Leading in the Age of Generative AI and Exponential Technology!

Another Sunday run with South Bay Runners Club—does two weeks in a row count as consistency? Well, it’s a start! 🎶 Stabbing Westward, “What Do I Have to Do?” Cappuccino and bagel at Pure Bean. #RunningPunks

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous. (video) snyder.substack.com/p/the-putin-...

Training is so much more fun with a group! I just need to get up earlier. New to me 🎶 by Yungblud! #RunningPunks

One of the most insightful essays of the year. Thank you, @timothysnyder.bsky.social!

Matt Kohut, the author of Speaking Out from Georgetown University Press, is also a celebrated poet! Congratulations, Matt!

#RunningPunks looks like the third British Invasion is underway! Very excited to see this guy next spring!

Two weeks off did not help with post-marathon sciatica, so I figured I may as well resume running, and I actually felt better after the run.🎧 “Get Me to the World on Time” (1967), by the Electric Prunes. Had to do something to celebrate the Dodgers’ World Series Championship! #RunningPunks

What a great book from @mitpress.bsky.social! #BookSky #ReadUP #SFSky

I learned so much at this conference, especially about how to strengthen the mission and impact of university presses in the face of financial challenges and AI risks and opportunities. #BookSky #ChicagoSky

As I build my base back after Berlin, I’m going to try running again. After a year of run-walking alone, it’s time to rejoin the #SouthBayRunnersClub! 🎶 The Clash, Stray Cats, Billy Idol, and some 1960s for fun: “Nobody But Me,” by the Human Beinz.😊 Congrats to Chicago marathoners! #RunningPunks

#RunningPunks, meet @jrdarchivist.bsky.social, the author of the definitive, heavily illustrated history of punk fanzines in DC, Keep Your Ear to the Ground, new from @georgetownup.bsky.social, acquired by Hope LeGro! Today’s 🎧: “California Paradise” by the Runaways #BookSky @aupresses.bsky.social

#RunningPunks, I finally ran the #BerlinMarathon on 9/21/25 after a 4-week hiatus recovering from shin splints. Barely made it under the cutoff, but I did! Lots of punk music along the course. Berlin Wall Memorial, East Side Gallery, highly recommend. share.google/RYDk30xTbZmb...

open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... @joycewhitevance.bsky.social is one of the few Substack authors I read daily, and this essay is a great example of her special combo of precision, conciseness, and urgency. Plus it’s one of the best book reveals ever. #booksky

Sunday long run just before dark, taking procrastination to new heights. Finally had some energy. 🎧 Santana, Doors, Iron Butterfly, Byrds, Yardbirds, Animals, and we can’t forget the Electric Prunes! #RunningPunks #RunSoCal Reward: steak and Bordeaux.

Today’s run has to be called Dusty Trails in honor of the duo and their eponymous 2000 album. #RunningPunks Slow run-walk but longest run so far since 2018, the last year I ran a marathon. Today’s victory was recovering from a trip while crossing a road. Looked like Charlie Chaplin on roller skates.

Meandering early morning 11-miler to Nyhavn (New Harbor—only 400 years old), Copenhagen. No song today to symbolize the fact that Trekz headphones lost power midrun.😊 #RunningPunks

Humid sweaty swamp run before the Academy of Management conference in Copenhagen. There is a punk song about “the Danes.” If you know the artist, remind me in the comments.😊 #RunningPunks. Saw these deer on the trail—they had to run along it because the brush was too thick for them to cross.

Four-mile run/walk through the neighborhood trying not to think about so many things. Today’s song is one of my all-time favorites: Paranoid by Black Sabbath. RIP Ozzy. Funny thing though, I heard a double-time punk version years before I discovered the slower original. #RunningPunks

No doubt this news will be overshadowed by the Combs verdict, but let’s remember that LA is still under attack, two weeks after the No Kings protests. Journalists stick around after the cameras leave. www.latimes.com/california/s...

First 25-mile week in forever, capped by today’s slow-as-snailsh_t 10-miler. I would have been slow even without the photo ops because I was trying out a new watch and accidentally sorted my playlist by artist, which meant 3 miles of Santana ‘68–fast guitar but slow beats. Plus hills. #RunningPunks

Nothing like unpacking a box of books that have not seen the light in four years, with the intention of donating them, only to find they are all classics that you still haven’t read! #BookSky @gmakoff.bsky.social

Juneteenth 2 mile run. #RunningPunks Today’s song: “It was a dark and stormy night and the ship was rockin' on the open sea … From Bristol to the Ivory Coast, then on to Jamaica Down in the hold there is no sound we're taking rock'n'roll to America”—Mekons, “Amnesia” (1989)

#NoKings Day 9-miler along the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Naturally today’s song is “God save the Queen, the fascist regime…there is no future, in England’s dreaming.” (1977)

No run in this post, but I have to share: While in Portland for a conference, out looking for dinner, I walked by a music venue and…Elvis Costello is playing! I was able to buy a ticket on the spot and got the farthest seat in the house, but it’s great! #RunningPunks #Spontaneity

Peaceful 3 mile loop around the Willamette River in Portland ahead of a conference. Beach Boys on tap. #BrianWilson #RunningPunks

2 miles by the bluffs. California has microclimates. Ours is known as May Gray and June Gloom, but then we’ll have sunshine July to December. (Right now I’m in a microclimate of someone’s overwhelmingly sticky 1980s perfume.) Today’s song is “Walking in LA”—Missing Persons. 1981. #RunningPunks

My favorite race was the Big Sur 21 Miler 2017. #RunChat #GlobalRunningDay #RunningPunks

Training for Berlin starts now! Beautiful day for a run on my home turf, 6 miles 5:1 run/walk. Song of the day: (We Don’t Need That) Fascist Groove Thang—Heaven 17 (1981). Every old is new again! (Except me.) #RunningPunks #runsky #SouthBayRunnersClub

State #37: Lincoln Half Marathon, followed by a flight of Empyrean barrel-aged craft beer and some antiquing at Burlington in the Haymarket. Fabulous support for runners all around. Super nice folks. #RunningPunks

Keeping Brando company while he waits for my husband to return from a work trip by 1 am. Fortunately Brando has no clue how long he’s been looking out the window. Meanwhile sister Stella guards against predators from the realm of the living room. #corgisky #dogsky #corgicrew

Congratulations @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social! From an American fan of Canadians, economists, central bank independence—and yes we have a forthcoming book on that latter topic from Georgetown University Press😊—rule of law, democracy, robust journalism, scientific research, and sanity.🇨🇦

www.worldmarathonmajors.com/content-hub/... 2025 wrap How many #RunningPunks ran London today?

This well-funded campaign to undermine the university was 50 years in the making. Yet the mass movement of resistance we need may already be in its early stages. #ProtectHigherEducation

A very misleading headline by the NYT. See reference to "new system" in paragraph two of NYT, details of which are here: www.insidehighered.com/news/global/.... Clearly it's only a temporary pause. "Trump Administration Reverses Course on Student Visa Cancellations" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...
